Emergency Management & Mass Notification Consolidation
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The city lacks a publicly identified all-hazards Emergency Operations Plan and operates fragmented mass notification systems across multiple platforms, creating coordination gaps and public confusion. Inadequate outdoor-warning coverage, siren governance issues, and a recent Fire Department leadership transition elevate both operational and compliance risk.
The opportunity
The FY 2026-27 budget includes EOC upgrade allocations, and the December 31, 2026 ARPA-funded technology spending deadline creates immediate action pressure. Consolidating notification systems and formalizing an all-hazards EOP now strengthens regulatory compliance, public safety outcomes, and responsible stewardship of available public funds.
Web Accessibility & Digital Portal Compliance
Web Accessibility · Digital Equity
High Priority
About this project
The city is not demonstrably compliant with WCAG 2.1 Level AA standards despite exceeding the population threshold that triggers the federal mandate, and the compliance deadline has already passed. This gap creates significant legal exposure and restricts equitable resident access to public-facing digital services.
The opportunity
With the federal WCAG 2.1 compliance deadline of April 26, 2027 approaching and non-compliance already documented, the window to remediate without legal consequence is narrowing. The city's established IT budget and active use of cooperative purchasing vehicles support an accelerated, cost-effective path to compliance.

IT Modernization · Cybersecurity
High Priority
About this project
Critical infrastructure components—including firewalls, network storage, and directory servers—are reaching end-of-life, while manual IP tracking and limited vulnerability assessments leave the city exposed to intrusion risks. Planned upgrades to CAD/RMS, dispatch consoles, and EOC systems are time-sensitive, with operational continuity and public safety services directly at stake.
The opportunity
The December 31, 2026 ARPA spending deadline and FY 2026-27 budget allocations for cybersecurity staffing and intrusion prevention create a defined window to act. The BJA Edward Byrne Memorial JAG Program offers eligible funding for information systems and security technology, supporting investment with limited local match burden.

Discuss this project →Fleet-Wide Telematics & Driver Safety Modernization
Fleet Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
A recent fire department vehicle collision and growing public scrutiny over roadway safety have exposed a critical gap in fleet-wide visibility, with dash-cams and telematics absent across most of the fleet. Partial measures on select vehicles leave the majority of drivers, residents, and public assets without consistent monitoring or evidence capture.
The opportunity
Strategic fleet investments already underway—including apparatus purchases and an EV transition—create a natural window to integrate fleet-wide telematics within the current budget cycle. Cooperative purchasing agreements are actively in use, reducing procurement complexity and accelerating time to improved safety outcomes.

Discuss this project →Credential & Identity Security Management
Cybersecurity · Identity & Access Management
High Priority
About this project
The city's reliance on manual IP tracking and limited vulnerability assessments reflects significant gaps in credential and access management, leaving critical systems exposed. The absence of a dedicated Security Analyst and underdeveloped identity controls elevate operational and compliance risk across public safety and IT infrastructure.
The opportunity
The FY 2026-27 budget includes targeted cybersecurity spending increases, and the BJA FY 2026 JAG Program offers a relevant funding pathway for security technology investments. Acting within this fiscal window aligns with strategic initiatives already underway and supports responsible stewardship of public infrastructure.
